Traeger Elementary second-graders are having a blast going to the 20th Avenue YMCA for swimming lessons.

The little swimmers walk over to the Y once a week for six visits during September and October. They learn many important water safety lessons like “Look Before You Leap” and “Be Cool, Follow the Rules.”

The students are separated into groups according to their swimming level and work on a variety of skills based on their current comfortability with water. The swim instructors, lifeguards, and entire YMCA staff do a fabulous job making this a special event for the kids. Thank you YMCA!
